Contents
From the moment we enter Exodus 35, we have become bored with the repeated architectural style of the tabernacle.
Seeing that it is recorded in detail, I just passed it on without looking into it in detail.
There are many times when I feel the urge to go. In particular, this part is almost unheard of by preachers.
It is also a non-teaching place. However, this attitude toward the construction of the tabernacle
There is good reason for mentioning it. Because the tabernacle is
Because this is where I will dwell.
The tabernacle is divided into the Most Holy and the Holy of Holies. In between, the thickness is almost

There is an incense altar where incense is burned. And in the courtyard of the tabernacle, the priests
There is a laver for washing and an altar for burnt offerings. Each of these parts has
Let's omit the meaning. Why was the tabernacle given to Israel?
Because it is more important to know what the meaning of the tabernacle is.
First, the tabernacle is the dwelling place of God.
The shape of the Holy of Holies is like a palace where God dwells.
All. If you see tens of thousands of angels embroidered on the inner wall of the Most Holy,
Everyone will know that the place is the Zion where God dwells. at that time

Of course, the blood of animals does not mean that Israel's sins are forgiven. yes
Because I, God, said that He would redeem Israel only through His blood.
It was the only way Israel could be redeemed. this
is the proof that our sins are cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
It was God's revelatory work to mark.

It was a place of fellowship.
We see the tabernacle being called the tent of meeting (Exodus 40:2).
Arthur also said that the tabernacle was not just for sacrifice, but God made the people.
You can see that it has the meaning of giving. In fact, the Israeli congregation
Being in the midst of God means that God is always with them.
It clearly shows that you are in fellowship with them. therefore
The tabernacle can be seen as a meeting place between God and Israel.
Fourth, one of the important functions of the tabernacle was to heal Israel from their sins.
is a function that From the above, we can see that God Himself
You can see that you are in control. that is, in the midst of Israel,

It was to declare that he was the king of El.
From this view, there was a pillar of cloud over the tabernacle by day and a pillar of fire by night.
When the reason and the pillar of cloud rose, when Israel proceeded and stopped,
You will be able to understand where the tent had to be pitched. (40:34-38)."
The cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle, and fire was in the cloud by night.
And the whole house of Israel saw it for themselves in all the way they walked."
(40:38) In the words, we see God who is the King of Israel.
